Yesterday I moved from 6.2-RELENG to 7-RELENG and everything worked fine
(though I do have a few questions about mergemaster that I'll ask later).
As suggested on this list, I started to rebuild all of my ports.
I started with
portupgrade -f '<2007-11-01 12:00'
and all seemed to go well until I realized that I should have added
"--batch" to that. So I interrupted the process and restarted with
portupgrade -f --batch '<2007-11-01 12:00'
This has been running apparently just fine overnight, but then I noticed
that after building each port, they didn't get installed because I was
getting an error like
/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db: unexpected file type or format -- Invalid argument
So I stopped things again and tried to fix pkgdb.db
$ sudo pkgdb -v -F
---> Checking the package registry database
/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db: unexpected file type or format -- Invalid argument
$ sudo file /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db
/var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db: Berkeley DB 1.85 (Hash, version 2, native byte-order)
What should I do now. I suppose that my problem was with interrupting
the portupgrade the first time 'round. But is there anything I can do
to fix this.
I've seen no responses, is this still a problem?
First off, what does `file /var/db/pkg/pkgdb.db` report?
And have you looked at pkgdb(5)? I'm only guessing, but
maybe `pkgdb -aF` for starters, and maybe you'll have to
do `pkgdb -u`. YMMV, and all that.
